Quiet, peaceful living in a rural setting

Looking for quiet, peaceful living in a rural setting? The areas outside Tacoma present some of the best in Northwest Country Living. Acreage. Livestock. Room for a large garden. Rural, small towns. These are the attributes of a country living lifestyle. Tacoma is rapidly growing, and these communities are quickly becoming more suburban; it's easier to find newly constructed homes. At the same time, proponents for controlled growth are trying to maintain the quality of life here.

Key Peninsula

Homes range from older single-family houses in Longbranch, to spacious country estates. Growth on the Peninsula is moderate, and new homes are available throughout the area.

Puyallup

As the third largest city in Pierce County, Puyallup retains a rural, small town feel. Some areas, like South Hill, are experiencing tremendous growth and can be considered bedroom communities. Chamber of Commerce: (253) 845-6755. www.puyallupchamber.com

Puyallup Valley

In the towns of Bonney Lake, Buckley, Carbonado, Eatonville, Enumclaw, Graham, and Orting you will find older homes and ranch style houses. The area is experiencing growth, and as a result many newer home developments are available throughout the valley.

Sumner

An older community, Sumner has made an effort to refurbish the older buildings in the downtown area. Surrounding downtown, you will find friendly neighborhoods of older, single family homes with porches, front stoops and tidy yards.
